Abstract
Background Pre-operative radiotherapy (RT) followed by limb-sparing resection is commonly used to treat soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremity and chest-wall; however, this is associated with an increased risk of post-operative wound complications (WCs) compared to adjuvant RT. The use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in STS has been investigated; however, the impact on WC is sparsely reported. In this study, we assess the rates of WC in patients who underwent pre-operative 3D conformal RT (3D CRT) versus IMRT followed by surgery for STS.
